Just tell us! And now that you've been laughed at, it doesn't matter.

I just finished reading The Tempest and Much Ado About Nothing. I'd like to go read Catch 22 again because it is the greatest book on the planet (with 1984 trailing closely behind, in my opinion).

And I liked Christine. Not as much as some of the other books King has written, but it was enjoyable. Too Kill a Mockingbird was very good too.

I'll probably end up reading Glamis the Great again because I need to get editing book 2 and all.

You people are goddamn freaks, you do know that, right?

I particularly like how To Kill A Mockingbird's merits just got mentioned as an afterthought to Christine's.

In other news, I'm reading One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest for the second time this week. It's just utterly awesome on so many levels, so many, in fact, that I'm not going to bother listing any of them.

It is an absolutely awesome book, definitely one of my favorites. Maybe I'll reread it soon. I think my copy is missing page 84 though sad.gif The trippy part where the narrator was dreaming was really cool.

Remember Emu's face, people; one day it's going to be on the news alongside a headline about blowing some landmark to smithereens, and then we can all sigh and say, "She was such a normal person".....

VANITY FUCKING FAIR

Let's see how long it takes me to get heartily tired of this enormous paper brick.

Also Pullman's Northern Lights. I distinctly remember the trilogy sucking, badly, but people have bullied me into re-reading it. Apparently my opinion will magically change this time around. Stupid Pullman.

I'm so torn. At first, I was reading 1984. But I only got a few pages in before I picked up The Zombie Survival Guide. And I only got about halfway done with that before I bought Hex in the City by Simon R. Green.

Help me... crying.gif
I finally got a sig!

You can send me the Zombie Survival Guide. It'll take some reading material off your hands.

"Napoleon and his Collaborators" by Isser Woloch. I've been on a bit of a French history kick for some reason.

Vanity Fair, still. About a fifth through it now. This book is surprisingly awesome, and I'm really getting into it even though it's the size of a house. It oozes sarcasm to the point where it squelches when I try to close it, and I have to keep it in a special bag so it doesn't seep into the furniture.

But then how will I survive the zombies? huh.gif

Oh, and...


Argh!

That Simon R. Green novel turned out to be the fourth in a series of five, and since it led right into the fifth book, the ending sucked. Whoa is me.

Well, I did Half-Blood Prince in my usual set time limit, and right now I'm working on a simultaneously hilarious and deeply disturbing set of stories collectively titled The Further Adventures of the Joker.
Check out my crappy drawings!

FINALLY finished Vanity Fair. What an awesome book. Definitely a new favourite. Now I'm reading The Once And Future King again, for want of anything else. Apparently someone's giving me Half-Blood Prince soonish, but I'll mainly only be reading it because people apparently want to discuss it with me.

Almost finished The Amber Spyglass, and it's boring and dull and trite and I'm glad I got the trilogy over with so no one else can go OMG IT'S SO COOL YOU MUST HAVE READ IT WRONG GO AND READ IT AGAIN.
